Creation of Japanese translation Mod

[kuragehimekurara1]

I would like to create a Japanese translation Mod for WordleDS, is it possible? If it can be created again, how should I create it?

It should be possible, either by romanization or with kana. See the modding wiki page for how to make a mod.

Doing it with a romanization should be pretty simple, just might need to edit the letter images to add macron/circumflex letters depending on how you romanize it.

Kana shouldn't be all too hard either unless there's too many keys to fit on screen, though it would be really tricky as Wordle DS doesn't support more than 6 guesses and there's no way to give extra hints like 言葉で遊ぼう does... Adding more than 6 guesses would be tricky as it wouldn't fit on screen well... Could maybe fit two columns if they were only 4 letters each. Extra hints would be trickier as that's very special to Japanese, could look into it though if wanted.

If possible, I would like to create it with kana characters, but in that case, how should I create it?

[Epicpkmn11]

You should just need to edit the letterTiles and kbdKeys images to use Kana, then edit the letters to match and the keyboard to use them in the mod.json.

How do I edit the characters in kbdKeys and letterTiles?

[Epicpkmn11]

They're just images, any image editor should work. I use GIMP.

thank you! I know that kana characters should be replaced with KbdKeys and letterTiles, but how should I replace them?

[Epicpkmn11]

You can just replace the Latin letters, like:

The image can be extended without issues, it just has to match the letters array in the JSON.
